Description
Weather doesn't have to be boring. Give your forecasts some personality.
Powered by SpotWx and OpenAI.
NimbusWx is a spot forecasting tool that visualizes the numeric model data from the weather computers used by industry experts. It's powered by the incredibly popular website SpotWx, which is used by professionals all over North America and the world.
***New in Version 1.2: Create your own custom AI weather forecaster - powered by chatGPT
The difference between NimbusWx and other weather products is that we've lifted the veil on forecasts by giving you access to the raw weather data. That raw data is normally inaccessible because it requires special desktop software to open and interpret, we take that data and turn it into a human friendly visual format so you can make forecasts like a pro.
NimbusWx features include:
- Customizable AI weather forecaster. You can control what type of weather data you want to know about, and how the forecaster behaves.
- Select any coordinates on Earth.
- View and compare multiple weather models for your coordinates.
- Save your favourite places for fast viewing.
- See the models simulated altitude, and spatial / temporal resolution.
- View advanced weather metrics.
Models currently available on the mobile version:

Ratings and Reviews
Interesting concept, but < spotwx
On the GFS model (10 days) I can’t see days of the week on the graph. When I click and drag on the graph, the date appears but still not the day (monday, tuesday, etc)
Also, an integration of the Nowcast stations data would be nice!
Lastly, a better topo map underlay would be nice to see the selected altitude. Currently, only way to know is once you’ve selected your model.
Lots of potential, i’m real close to buying the pro version.
Developer Response ,
Hey Jack,
I really appreciate the feedback! I'm working on a big update right now and will try to include the contour lines and also the days of the week.
It's hard to fit all the data into a small screen, but I should be able to squeeze it in, if it means you'll get the pro version :)

Not quite ready
Could be better. Graph details are lacking. Was hoping for more of a SpotWx look. Would like to cancel pro version subscription but no option to do so?
Developer Response ,
Which graph details were you hoping for? I'll add them if you keep the pro version ;)
If you decide you don't want it, you can unsubscribe in your iPhones settings > Purchases / your profile > Subscriptions
Almost perfect
Needs just one feature from SpotWX which I use heavily - timestamp for when the model was most recently updated! So vital.
Otherwise, looks great.
Developer Response ,
Hey there, thanks for the feedback. I'll add that to the next update :)
